The Apple iPad has created a sensation amongst people whose technological knowledge varies from beginner to expert. A simple and thin tablet, the Apple iPad does virtually everything a computer does. It even has its own keyboard! It is beginning to replace laptop computers in classrooms and is being used as an added bonus in car sales, where manuals are uploaded to the device. With the iPad you can: take pictures, surf the web, record video, play Angry Birds, check your email, complete your work tasks, and chat on Facebook all at the same time. It really is an incredible device. Don’t worry, we do not work for Apple. Yet, as we have learned from an early age, nothing is perfect. The Apple iPad has one highly criticized downfall; it has no USB port other than where its charger goes.
Apple iPad vs. USB Port
A Flash Of Home with the Traveling Terabyte USB
When customers call to purchase custom flash drives, one of the first questions we ask them is; “what are you buying these for?” Typically, we hear “school functions,” “business promotions,” or “tradeshows.” We love to hear these answers, as it means your business, and ours is growing. Every now and then though, we hear something out of the ordinary. People purchasing flash drives for religious events, photography projects, and even, for charity. Perhaps it seems strange that charity and personalized flash drives go together, but Deviant Ollam, founder of the “Traveling Terabyte” project, has figured out the perfect way to fuse the two together.
Are Flash Drives On Their Way Out?
Here at iPromo, as you might suspect, we are avid readers of gadget blogs from all over the World Wide Web. Lately, we’ve seen some bad PR go around about flash drives. New York Times Online put together a list of gadgets that you should either use or loose; things like desktop computers, camcorders, and books. Although the New York Times brings up some very valid points about tossing old technology, we still cannot understand why they would hate so much on USB flash drives. The short blurb about thumb drives discusses how file sharing is now done online and via email. Google Docs has done wonders for collaborative projects and emailing documents has been around since the popularization of email in the early 90’s. Virtual document sharing isn’t as new of an idea as we like to credit ourselves with. The short paragraph goes on to say that “a USB drive is just something to misplace or break.” *
Custom Flash Drive: Custom Logo
Here at iPromo, we love colors. Our logo has a gradient and the text is solid black print. It is made of different shapes and sizes. It represents us in a way that no other logo can. It says that we are solid in our name, colorful in our production, unique in our ways. No, this is no ordinary logo. There is no hiding that we are biased towards our logo, name, and slogan. With our name, we say something about yours. Yes, your logo does deserve the best. The best product, the best colors, the best service, the best of everything. Your logo is part of who you are. It is part of your image, and you image is what sells to and attracts new prospects. We know how important your logo and colors are to your business and we do everything we can to make sure you stand out.
The iPromo Difference
What makes a company, a company? There is more than one correct answer to this question, and the first one that comes to mind is customer service. Every company has a soul. It has a purpose. It has a product or service that will save the world, save your business, or help you save yourself. Whatever it is, every business owner prides him or herself on their incredible, new, and profound idea. Essentially, this is where a good company takes its roots. The owner, the driving force behind the ideas and the employees, knows exactly what they are aiming for and how to get there. We are not here to tell you why you should purchase custom flash drives just from iPromo. Instead, we want to tell you why our business stands out over any other, why our customers return time and time again, and why we are proud to stand behind our service and our product.
The Chinese New Year and Flash Drives
People all over the world love to celebrate. Whether it’s getting together for a birthday party, a rite of passage, or a major holiday, cultures will find ways to celebrate and commemorate. The excitement of the New Year may have subsided over the past few weeks for those living in the West; but for those around the world in places like China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries, the excitement and thrill is just beginning. The Chinese New Year is fast approaching, officially marking 2011 as the year of the Rabbit and influencing the price and production time of all products that are Made in China. So what does all this mean for the flash drive industry?
Business Card Flash Drives
At a bar, at a club, out to dinner, or hanging out with friends at the park, we always try to keep our eyes open for new customers or perspective clients. This is probably the most essential technique to have in business; the ability to sell oneself and one’s business. The first step in attempting to sell anything is of course, having the confidence to talk to a stranger. The second is knowing your product or service inside and out. However, closing the deal is always a lot trickier than it seems. In the past, a snappy and colorful business card would have done the trick. Small paper cut outs stamped with your company name, your name, your email address, and some other funky attribute to it like a fun color or cut out, would grab anyone’s attention and be instantly pocketed. Unfortunately, interesting shapes and textures aren’t enough these days to really wow potential new clients.
